The residence, built circa 1850, is a two-story three-bay house with a low-hip roof that is distinguished by a deep frieze that has molded band and wedge-shaped modillions, six-over-six sash windows, two brick end chimneys, plain cornerblocks, and a one-story porch supported by octagonal posts. The house is significant to Chatham County architectual history for its approach to vernacular Greek Revival domestic architecture.
